<div id="sm"><strong>UK advertising copywriter Mike Beeson has embarked on a campaign to revive the importance of creative concepts in both online and offline marketing.</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</div>
<div></div>
<div id="bdab">
<div id="bd"><em><a href="http://www.prlog.org/">PRLog (Press Release)</a></em> - <em>May 11, 2012</em> -<br />
UK advertising copywriter Mike Beeson has embarked on a campaign to revive the importance of creative concepts in both online and offline marketing.Mike&#8217;s Manchester-based copywriting agency, Buzzwords Limited, was established in the 1980s when creative concepts – aka visually-related marketing ideas – were at the forefront of every advertising and marketing campaign.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel strongly that online communication has lost something along the way,&#8221; says Mike. &#8220;I&#8217;m convinced that re-visiting this proven formula would provide huge benefits.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s already been a definite resurgence in transforming web pages into persuasive standalone pieces where the ultimate aim is to intensify the call to action and therefore improve sales conversion rates.</p>
<p>&#8220;What we&#8217;re seeing is a return to a direct response &#8216;sales letter&#8217; copywriting approach,&#8221; Mike continued.  &#8221;With Google&#8217;s out and out drive for quality content, I feel it&#8217;s only a matter of time before real creativity returns to the mix.</p>
<p>&#8220;What we have at the moment is an undue emphasis on words for their own sake.  This may be fine from an SEO viewpoint, but it won&#8217;t necessarily thrill or persuade the end user to take action.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Mike, the creative concept process involves linking a persuasive benefit-led headline with a photograph or other visual to reinforce the verbal message.  The satisfying (and therefore persuasive) harmony that this creates in the mind of the reader is the ultimate &#8216;quality&#8217; experience that Google hitherto has failed to articulate.</p>
<p>Keywords are currently king because they are the most easily measured element on a page for SEO purposes (the other main measurable element of course is the number and quality of inbound links that a web page and website has).</p>
<p>Measuring the effectiveness of a web page&#8217;s creativity and how &#8216;useful&#8217; this is in satisfying a searcher&#8217;s need for information is probably not relevant.  However, if the notion of &#8216;quality&#8217; is ever going to move forward, there will have to be some means of measuring the link between quality and creativity.</p>
<p>This could take the form of people &#8216;voting for&#8217; or &#8216;re-Googling&#8217; a page in such a way that it contributes towards the quality score within the total search engine algorithm.  There&#8217;s little doubt that &#8216;creative quality&#8217; would make a page more &#8216;sticky&#8217; and it would very likely reduce &#8216;bounce&#8217; rates.</p>
<p>These factors are already part of Google&#8217;s criteria for ranking pages.  What is needed is a new way of assessing what is an exciting dimension in asserting a web page&#8217;s &#8216;value&#8217;.</p>
<p>Mike Beeson will be advocating this approach for all clients&#8217; web pages – as well as on Buzzwords&#8217; own website.  Promoting the importance of concepts as a simple yet powerful idea should not be ignored.  It made the name of advertising in the 1980s as a quasi-cultural art form that paid huge commercial dividends.  This could easily be repeated profitably today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Promotional T-shirts have been a part of business promotion and marketing of brands for a long time.  Promotional T Shirts can be given to clients, to prospective customers, and also to your employees to give them the added feeling of belonging to a brand. You do not need be a world famous brand to benefit from promotional T-shirts.  Even new busineses have used T Shirts to create awareness of their product, brand or business.</p>
<p>giving Promotional T Shirts to your employees is a great way for brand endorsement. You can design T Shirts with your company brand and marketing message for your employees and if you are hosting a conference, exibition or promotional event, make it mandatory for your employees to wear promotional T Shirts.  It is a very inexpensive method to make your staff stand out from the crowd and you present an orderly unity among your employees, the same way in which a uniform serves.</p>
<p>Some businessesthink  that it is too expensive to buy a t-shirt online but they are often incorrect. Purchasing t shirts online is a fast and easy process and the choice of online shops is very much better than you expect it to be with some allowing you to undertake the entire design process and payment online.</p>
<p>Corporate branding on T-Shirts can significantly improve the brand awareness of a business in a very short period of time and aside from the obvious marketing advantages branded T-Shirts and other clothing can enhance the perception of customers to your business.  Considering the relatively low cost of purchase and printing T shirts against the length of time a good quality T Shirt can last makes branded T shirts one of the most cost effective methods of marketing for many businesses.</p>
<p>It is widely believed that DTG tshirt printing is more environmentally than screen printing. DTG uses water-based inks to print directly onto clothing, this means that there are no excess inks used in the actual printing and the only waste that occurs is from the occasional print head cleaning – it’s worth noting that head cleaning does not involve any external materials only ink. Then as long as waste ink is disposed of correctly, printing tshirts using the DTG method should have virtually no environmenal impact. Screen printing however has excess inks from parts of the stencil not printed to the tshirt and when screens are cleaned these excess inks are usually washed down the drain.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many marketing companies would be more than happy to assist in creating a brochure design that is professional and have a lovely look to them. However before going to one of these companies or even considering them one must consider what it is the brochure design is supposed to accomplish.</p>
<p>If the main goal of the brochure design is to gain new customers it should be sharp and catchy. Make it something that <a title="How to Build a Customer Focused Business" href="http://totallyhowto.com/business-2/2011/01/how-to-build-a-customer-focused-business/" target="_blank">the customer will notice</a> and not want to toss in the garbage. Also give them reasons as to why they want to do business with you. Keep in mind that you are always in competition and that you will want to win the most customers possible. New customers need to know why you are so wonderful and why it is a better financial investment for them to give their money to you.</p>
<p>Alternatively if the main goal of the brochure design is to get customers that have already done business with you to come back then you are going to need to gear your brochure towards them. Snappy catchy pictures are not necessarily needed in this case. Here they already know who you are and will take a moment to see what you have to say. The best approach for the speech of the brochure is to keep it at a friendship level. They know you and have already spent some money with you. The goal here is to keep them <a title="4 Steps to Unbeatable Advertising" href="http://advertising.aboutcrawler.com/strategies/4-steps-to-unbeatable-advertising/">spending their money</a> with you. To do this talk to them like they are an old friend. Let them know that their business with you was greatly appreciated and that you would love to see them again.</p>
<p>Never underestimate the use of incentives given in a brochure design. <a title="Compare Prices Before you Buy" href="http://comparecrawler.com" target="_blank">Bargain shoppers</a> are going to come flocking in to new businesses or return to old companies that they had once used all because they have a coupon in their hand. They love a good bargain and if you give them a good bargain they will love you. Also the average not so bargain crazed customer is going to come to you over the competition that doesn’t give an incentive. Think in the <a title="How to be a Well Informed Shopper" href="http://totallyhowto.com/internet/2011/03/how-to-be-a-well-informed-online-shopper/" target="_blank">mind of the shopper</a>. For example if a shopper is likely to save $20 on an incentive that you offered on something through your brochure design then that is $20 more likely that they will spend on other or more products.</p>
<p>Keep these points in mind when creating the perfect brochure design and you too will have an <a title="Planning a Brochure for your Business" href="http://aboutcrawler.com/planning-a-brochure-for-your-business/">effective brochure</a> that will bring in more business.</p>

For a new business start-up, word of mouth marketing is often the best and most effective advertising method.</p>
<p>Newspaper print and classified ads can get very expensive, and have lost much of their effectiveness with the popularity of the internet in the past decade. New business owners can&#8217;t even consider radio or television advertising as a viable option. What is left for a home business or small start-up to do to spread the word about their enterprise?</p>
<p>Here are some steps that you can take to start a viral word of mouth marketing campaign about your business:</p>
<p><strong>Acquaintances:</strong> Approach your friends, family and neighbors initially, followed by contacting other people you know in your community and beyond. To begin your campaign, you may take a broad approach to spread your information; ultimately streamlining your message to your target market.</p>
<p><strong>Networking:</strong> Both online and off, networking is the backbone of the word of mouth marketing. You need to have a large network to build a database of prospective customers. Find forums and other groups where your target market ‘hang out.’</p>
<p><strong>Website:</strong> It’s the Internet age. Establish your website with good, focused keywords to get favorable results from the search engines. Also, keep your website, user-friendly with easy navigation and complete updated information about everything regarding your business.</p>
<p><strong>Freebies:</strong> Everyone loves to get something free. Create a free report or ebook related to your idea or product and give it away to potential customers, asking them to give the item to their friends and family as well.</p>
<p><strong>Mailers:</strong> You can use email or postcards or pamphlets about your business to inform your acquaintances prior to calling them.</p>
<p>Word of mouth advertising has stood the test of time and is effective for every business. There are simple, affordable methods of starting a viral marketing campaign that will spread like wild fire. By putting into place some or all of the ideas mentioned above, you can create a world of advertising for your business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are numerous success stories you will hear about businesses making it good on the internet . The troubling thing is, there are maybe a tenfold or even a hundredfold of stories inconsistent to theirs. Many have unsuccessfully launched a business venture that is internet based but only a handful shall succeed.</p>
<p>Is this because of luck? That is even more remote. It takes good business sense and a lot of help and team effort. Most importantly, it is the eagerness to succeed and the persistence to learn and the willingness to put in a lot of hard work and some money.</p>
<p>However, before shelling out your hard-earned money on <a title="History of Advertising" href="http://advertising.aboutcrawler.com/guides/history-of-advertising/">advertising</a>, here are three (3) smart reasons why you should consider paying for your traffic including common-sense methods of showing you how to prepare your website.</p>
<p><strong>1. The quickest method for getting customers to your website is to pay for your traffic.</strong></p>
<p>Like Neo, traffic is &#8216;The One&#8217; . Without traffic, all your efforts would just go to waste. Every business needs customers, without them you wouldn&#8217;t have anyone to sell your products to. In the Internet world traffic is the walk in customer. The more traffic you possess the more people you&#8217;d be able to sell your products to.</p>
<p>But similar to any business that&#8217;s in every corner building or in the mall, not everyone that goes in will buy. But for those who do come in to browse your merchandise, most of them will buy your products. It is a clear and known fact.</p>
<p>But, how do you get traffic, traffic great enough that could make a small portion of resulting buyers enough to make a fair profit. Many big companies generate traffic of tens of thousands a day and a measly ten to fifteen percent actually buys, but that small percentage is enough to supply them with adequate business.</p>
<p>Many of these success stories get their traffic from paying others. Yes that&#8217;s right; you have to spend money to <a title="Internet marketing strategies" href="http://marketing.aboutcrawler.com">make money</a>. Advertising is the key. The more people who know that your site exists the more people would of course go to your site, that&#8217;s common sense.</p>
<p>While there are numerous ways to get free advertising for your business, free advertising doesn&#8217;t generate the same high volume of traffic as paid traffic does. Paid advertisements include such advertising schemes as those offered by Google and Yahoo.</p>
<p><strong>2. In order to take full advantage of the search engines, make sure that your site is properly optimized to rank high before paying for your traffic.</strong></p>
<p>Search engines are the fastest and easiest way for finding what you need on the internet . Search engines are extremely popular because they provide an indispensable service to many people. They are free and easy to use. Because of their popularity, search engines receive many visitors as well as click throughs . With these benefits in mind, it is easy to see why so many companies would pay to advertise with search engines.</p>
<p>Search engines provide information to the millions of users they receive each day. They provide relevant links to many sites that a user may be looking for. If your site&#8217;s link pops up as one of the top ranked sites on the search results page, you stand a great chance that the user will click your link and go to your site. While search engine optimization is a cheaper and low cost way to get your site a high rank, paying for advertisements will ensure that you will be on the top ranks.</p>
<p>When you <a title="5 Free Online Advertising Channels For Your Business" href="http://advertising.aboutcrawler.com/guides/5-free-online-advertising-channels-for-your-business/">pay for your advertisements</a>, it is like paying for guaranteed traffic to your site. This may not seem like a good idea at first, but the benefits of doing so far outweigh the cost in the long run. When you pay for your traffic, you are guaranteed a consistent flow of traffic to your site. You will at no time go without making a sale on any given day.</p>
<p><strong>3. Find and use tools that will aid you in researching relevant keywords for your chosen niche so that you don&#8217;t waste money on advertising.</strong></p>
<p>Normally, you will be charged with the number of hits a link gets when your ad is clicked, this is known as pay per click. For some search engines, you will be charged with the number of times your ad shows up when a certain keyword or keyword phrase is searched. It is imperative that you have good keyword content in your ad. There are many tools on the Internet which can aid you in using the right keywords at the right moment in time.</p>
<p>All the money you spend in paying for your traffic will not be for nothing. You will get an impressive boost in traffic which will also result in a great boost in your sales figures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Branding is no longer simply about visual appeal (or the cherry in the apple pie example, as given in my earlier article). Unfortunately, many graphic design firms who position themselves as advertising agencies believe that branding your corporate identity is all about developing great looking visual solutions.</p>
<p>However, there is much much more to branding than just looking good. Particularly in this web 2.0 era, where a powerful web presence has become a vital ingredient of your branding strategy, developing the right media mix holds the key to building a powerful brand equity.</p>
<p><strong>In other words, a right media mix would mean: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Creative design solutions (the design, color, and content of your ads, marketing collateral and website enhance your brand equity, attract customers, and generate sales)</li>
<li>Web development (every product/service worth its name has a web presence these days, some have truly interactive, animated sites encouraging customer involvement),</li>
<li>Viral marketing (vitally important in today’s age of social networking, tagging, podcasting, blogs, forums, wikis and what have you)</li>
<li>Television commercial production, print media advertising (traditional media cannot be overlooked)</li>
<li>Strategic films (have become necessary elements of roadshows, exibhitions and other promotional campaigns)</li>
<li>Corporate video production (a very important tool for branding your corporate identity)</li>
<li>Direct marketing (marketing collaterals need to be just as effective and resonant with the overall branding scheme as the communicate directly with the customer)</li>
<li>Outdoor advertising (hoardings, roadshows, participations in business fairs, exhibitions, etc)</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. <strong>Free directories:</strong> directories are perfect for customers that are searching for a particular topic. What’s great about them is that you only have to post once and they are good for long periods of time. It saves a lot of your time when you don’t have to resubmit your information every week or every month. The bad news is most of your traffic won’t come from here. I still feel it is worth it to get your link out there. Just take one day and set it aside for posting to <a title="List of free seo web directories" href="http://www.mmrforyou.com/list-of-free-seo-directories.html" target="_blank">free directories</a>. You won’t need to do it again for at least 6 months.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Classified Ads:</strong> These are great for work from <a title="Internet home business" href="http://aboutcrawler.com/internet-home-business/">home businesses</a>. Think about it. Where do people go when they are looking for a job? That’s right-the classifieds. The only downside to classified ads is that you have to resubmit them quite frequently. Once you find which classifieds bring you the most traffic you can concentrate on them and weed the others out. So it is really more time consuming in the beginning, and doesn’t have to be later on when you get the hang of things.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Free article submissions/ezines:</strong> The best way to inform others about your product or service is to write an article about it. In your authors resource box, you can tell readers about yourself and where they can go to check out your product or service. This is also an excellent way to get <a title="List of Directories" href="http://seolinkstrategy.com/list-of-directories.html" target="_blank">free links to your site</a> if you have one. There are a lot of webmasters out there who are looking for good articles they can post on their site. If they post yours, that is another site that is doing the advertising for you. All for free.</p>
<p>4. <strong>URL Submissions:</strong> Probably the quickest and easiest thing to do to advertise your site. Just type “Free URL submission” in your search engine. When you get a list just enter the URL you are promoting and click submit. That’s it. It only takes a few seconds and your done. Just set a day aside once every 3 months and do this.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Forum Posts:</strong> Put your product or service website in your signature file when you sign up on some forums. It will be displayed every time you make a post. Try to look for topics that you have some knowledge on, and can give a relevant answer too. Do not spam anyone, you will get kicked off the forum and you will get a bad reputation. Get involved asking and answering questions that pertain to your area of business. Forums are great because once you make a post it stays there forever. It will get moved to the archives eventually, but someone could still find it if they were searching the archives. Yes, there are many people who do.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Traffic Exchanges:</strong> Probably the most time consuming way to advertise for free, but definitely the most effective. Most forums I have visited have said in many posts that they received a lot of their profit from traffic exchanges. If you don’t want to spend the time surfing for credits, you do have the option of buying them. I would look into a program that lets you surf multiple websites at once like crazy browser. There are others and they are free to download. That way you can just spend one hour a day and get all your surfing in at once.</p>
<p>7. <strong>News-groups:</strong> Become involved in a group that has to do with your kind of business. You can usually mail the group once per day, but I would encourage you to find something fresh to talk about each day. People will tune you out if they see the same message all the time. Remember to never Spam anyone. Only join groups with the same interests as yours. In other words, don’t sign up for a recipe swapping group when you are advertising shaving cream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>1. Negotiate</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Have you noticed that some people seem to always get the best deals?  Yeah, you pay full price and think you did OK until they show up with the same thing, only they  paid several hundred dollars less.  It really get your goat!  How do they do it?  They&#8217;re not afraid to ask for an extra discount.</p>
<p>Yep,  don&#8217;t sell yourself short because you didn&#8217;t ASK the next time your <a title="Advertising on a Budget: Frequency" href="http://advertising.aboutcrawler.com/strategies/advertising-on-a-budget-frequency/">advertising</a> rep makes an appearance!  Even if you&#8217;re already getting a discount, ask for a bigger one.  You have not&#8230;because you ask not.</p>
<p><strong>2. Trim:</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Bigger is always better&#8230;or is it?  When it comes to advertising, don&#8217;t be surprised if some of your short ads meet with more success than larger more expensive ads. Trimming down on the size and <a title="5 Free Online Advertising Channels For Your Business" href="http://advertising.aboutcrawler.com/guides/5-free-online-advertising-channels-for-your-business/">cost of advertising</a> doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;ll be trimming the results!</p>
<p><strong>3. Exploit the Freebies:</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>What&#8217;s the difference between advertising and publicity?  &#8230;who&#8217;s doing the talking. Yeah, when you sell yourself, it&#8217;s advertising.  When someone else is selling you, it&#8217;s publicity&#8230;and it generates credibility and interest that you don&#8217;t want to miss out on.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-32" title="Free Advertising Strategies" src="http://advertising.aboutcrawler.com/files/2011/04/free-advertising-strategies-300x300.jpg" alt="Free Advertising Strategies" width="300" height="300" />Think about the different ways you can get your business in the spotlight.  Do you have some news… write a press release?  Write some &#8220;how to&#8221; articles with a short byline at the end and release them to ezines, magazines, newspapers, and other publishers. Why not promote the product of a non-competitor in return for them promoting yours&#8230;think of the totally different market they affect!</p>
<p>Yep, there are a lot of ways out there to get free advertisement that will benefit your business. Of course you won&#8217;t be able to rely solely on the freebies, but hey, you can get a little extra for nothing!</p>
<p><strong>4. Improve Your Offer:</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Is your deal too good to pass up?  If not, you need to improve it.  Hey, I&#8217;m not talking about cutting prices even more&#8230;you&#8217;ve still got to make a profit.  You can make the deal sweeter just by increasing the readers knowledge of the value of the product, or adding bonuses that are perceived as valuable, but cost you little.</p>
<p>Motivate buyers with expiration.  Yeah, an open ended offer encourages procrastination&#8230;which leads &#8230;yep, nowhere.  When the customer knows he has until Saturday to purchase an item he&#8217;ll pay more for on Sunday, he&#8217;ll make it a priority to head for your shop.</p>
<p><a title="History of Advertising" href="http://advertising.aboutcrawler.com/guides/history-of-advertising/">Advertising</a> doesn&#8217;t have to wipe out your bank account to be effective.  When you learn to negotiate, know when smaller ads are as effective as large ads, ask for discounts, and create an irresistible offer, you&#8217;re on your way to skyrocketing profit margins!</p>
